Minimum Wage Laws are UNemployment Laws

Minimum Wage Laws are UNemployment Laws
SHARE

The issue of minimum wage laws has been a topic of debate for decades. Many argue that these laws do more harm than good, especially for the most vulnerable members of the workforce. Before the implementation of minimum wage laws in the 1930s, the unemployment rate among different demographic groups was relatively similar. However, in today’s society, we see a stark difference in unemployment rates, particularly among young black individuals.

The main argument against minimum wage laws is that they actually act as unemployment laws rather than employment laws. This is because these laws mandate a minimum wage that may be higher than the productivity level of certain individuals. For example, if the law requires a wage of $10 per hour, but a worker’s productivity is only $7 per hour, then a company would effectively lose money by hiring that individual. As a result, many companies choose not to hire individuals whose productivity does not meet the minimum wage requirement.

Advocates for increasing the minimum wage often overlook the negative consequences that come with such a decision. For instance, Bernie Sanders has proposed raising the minimum wage to $17 per hour, which is more than double the current federal level of $7.25. However, this could potentially lead to even higher levels of unemployment, especially among marginalized groups.

While some studies have shown that slight increases in the minimum wage do not necessarily lead to higher unemployment rates, it is important to consider the overall impact of these laws. Instead of focusing on incremental changes, it may be more beneficial to consider the possibility of repealing the entire minimum wage law altogether.

In conclusion, the minimum wage law is a complex issue that requires careful consideration. While some argue that it helps to ensure fair wages for workers, others believe that it actually hinders employment opportunities for those with lower productivity levels. It is essential to critically analyze the effects of minimum wage laws and consider alternative solutions that could benefit both workers and employers.
